0wning Vista from the boot
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007
Federico Biancuzzi interviews Nitin and Vipin Kumar, authors of VBootkit, a rootkit that is able to load from Windows Vista 
boot-sectors. They discuss the "features" of their code, the support of the various versions of Vista, the possibility to place it inside the BIOS (it needs around 1,500 bytes), and the chance to use it to bypass Vista’s product activation or avoid DRM.
Could you introduce yourselves?
Nitin Kumar: I am a 23-year-old graduate from India. I am passionate about computers. The best part about me is that I never give up something till I give a try to it. I like coding in C and asm. I like Reverse Engineering. In free time I usually pick up something and try to understand that. Vista is new and have many new security features, so we thought of creating something for Vista.
Vipin Kumar: I am a 22-year-old graduate from India. I like analysing OSes (mainly the internals , kernel stuff etc) and testing OS and network security. Our coding stuff includes development of bootkit, vbootkit and numerous shell-codes and lots of Windows stuff. 0wning Vista from the boot | Channel Register
